Avoid 13A and 13F (no window at this seat position), 15A, 15B, 15E and 15F (seat may not fully recline), row 31 (near lavatory) and row 32 and row 33 (immediately adjacent to lavatory).
The American Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 carries 172 passengers across First + Main Cabin Extra + Main Cabin. Power and Wi-Fi are available on this aircraft. Seats are rated below, so you can see which have the legroom, the window alignment and the quiet — and which sit next to a galley or lavatory.
The seats rated best on this map are 1B, 2A, 2F, 3A, 3F, 4A. Another 46 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit rows 16 and 17 for extra legroom. The map marks 36 seats with extra legroom.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 13A, 13F, 15A, 15B, 15E, 15F. Another 18 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
Main Cabin Extra rows offer additional seat pitch — more distance between your knees and the seat in front. The seat width and the three-three layout are the same; you are paying for legroom, not a different cabin experience.
Exit rows give the most legroom in the Main Cabin, but the seats typically do not recline and may be near a galley or lavatory depending on the row. For a short domestic flight they are an excellent pick; for overnight flights the lack of recline is a trade-off worth considering.
American First on the 737 MAX 8 is a domestic recliner product in a two-two layout — one window and one aisle on each side. Seats are wider and have more pitch than economy, and passengers board first and exit first.
